The city of Missoula will pursue a bad-faith lawsuit against The Carlyle Group, claiming the former owner of Mountain Water Co. practiced deceit and "corporate bullying" during the years-long legal battle over the city’s drinking water system.

Mayor John Engen, joined by the Missoula City Council and the legal team that helped the city wrest control of the water utility, announced their intention to file suit against the global investment firm on Wednesday.
